Glamorgan’s Carlson wants earlier One-Day Cup final

The situation would have been even worse without a the efforts of the Trent Bridge groundstaff to get the match on after heavy downpours over the weekend, without which the trophy would have been shared.

“No one wants to share the trophy, everyone wants a proper bash at trying to win it,” said Somerset captain Sean Dickson, who led a relatively inexperienced side as his county missed out on a third trophy in the space of 10 days following a T20 final defeat and a slip-up in the Championship.

Dickson made no excuses, but backed his opposite number’s calls for a rethink of the date, which also causes problems for counties retaining their overseas players.

“In terms of scheduling, Kiran alluded to it, having it at least a bit closer [to the earlier games] from numerous aspects. Glamorgan were able to play their overseas player, Colin [Ingram], but we weren’t [with Riley Meredith on Australia duty].

“That would definitely change things, but it’s a hard job for the ECB to try to fit everything in.”

Glamorgan’s Kiwi coach Grant Bradburn, in his first season in the county game, is not keen to enter the scheduling debate publicly, but praised his team’s ability to overcome poor Championship form in the long gap.

“We’ve had a tough few weeks [with three defeats out of four] in the red-ball, but it makes the win sweeter in that the boys were able to park that for a few days.

“It has been a bit strange playing the semi then waiting for five weeks, and after the disappointments of the past weeks I’m really proud of the way the group has come together,” said Bradburn.
